You can only turn off your brain so much. It's one thing to suspend your disbelief but when a game doesn't even follow it's own logic that becomes and issue for me. Even putting aside it's terrible story the game straight up has other issues on purely a design level.
I don't get the fanbase of this franchise. If you say it's bad without playing, they make fun of you and say you have no right to say it's bad. But if you play and you say it's bad, they get butthurt and say "well, if you don't like, why are you playing?" Geez, make up your mind guys.
Every videogame fanbase with a favorable public figure, be it Toby Fox, GabeN, Sakurai, and so on, is like that. If they were involved with a game, someone will behave like OP's comment described. It's shameful and wholly brings out their ignorance.
Thats EVERY fanbase...the reason this one gets defensive is becasue the game is being attacked by people who jump straight into KH3 and expect to understand the story having missed the other what 8 games in the franchise then complain about being lost
I'm torn. I wanna watch 6 hours of Jared but I know he doesn't care for KH and I don't know if it'll be a fun stream to see him play a game we know he most likely won't care for.
@@donbionicle Yea, I was struggling to watch this stream live and eventually tapped out about 3/4 through the Toy Story world and never bothered coming in for Parts 2 and 3. Judging by Jared's Twitter, I made the right call.
@@Mexican_Sunbro I mean, its pretty easy to hate Kingdom Hearts. What it should have been an easy concept, its a convoluted mess that dont do anything outstanding out of all the things the game tries to do.
@@FlameOfUdun96 Still, you'd think after not one but multiple games he'd give up and move on. He did that with FF13 after 13-2 why not Kingdom Hearts as well?
To anyone asking why he's playing this game in the first place even though he's not a fan of the series, keep in mind that people may like one or a few games in a franchise they don't like as a whole. If a series doesn't win someone over, then that's fine. Not everything is for everyone. I'm a big fan of Kingdom Hearts, but I do understand where ProJared is coming from when he gives the series a second chance and it still doesn't win him over. That's normal.
No thank you. Haven't seen the stream at all and don't plan to, what with Jared's attitude towards the series in the past and this game on Twitter. As I've said before, it's totally fine if he hates the series, to each their own. But just like with his Deltarune playthrough, it's not fun in the slightest watching someone play something they completely hate, and not even in a rage game/horribly bad game way (a la Getting Over It/Sonic 06). I just really want Jared to stay away from the series from now on (as well as any other game/series he knows he's gonna hate). It just makes for an overall unpleasant ride for both himself and those of us who love the series.
But for people that don't like the series it's satisfying, almost vindicating. It's good to see the other side of the coin sometimes. It helps you to make an even stronger opinion of your own.
@@jebfullinwider4379 I totally agree. Just like how people enjoy when people like things for the same reason you like them, I enjoy when people dislike things for the reasons I dislike them. I think the series could have been something neat and engaging for anyone. I have no idea who the target demo is for this stuff is anymore though.
That's literally the definition of confirmation bias. Lmao Congrats, you've learned some new vapid talking points to recite, I guess. I'll take the L on this one. 😂
@@hacksbeenjamin nothing in this world is for everone.. i enjoy if that the fact of the game is "real" bad but i not enjoy if it just bias nonsense and say the game is bad bc they just hate it and no good reason to it btw i not mean to jared from this video
I used to feel this way about Pac-Man, now I like Pac-Man more than I used to hate him, more than likely because of the fact that it's in every Namco compilation no matter which one you choose. There is at least one Pac-Man game, and it's the exact same one from the arcades in the 80s.
I appreciate the playthrough, and I appreciate the uploads. And I will have every minute of the 24 hour playthrough going, even if or because I fully agree with Jared. I WANT the kingdom Hearts games to be good, but... the first one is.
58:16 "If anyone tries to start the series with this game, I am so sorry." Yep, I'm doing exactly that. Every aspect of this game's narrative - the story, the writing, characters, voice acting - seems like a fever dream from an unhinged AI. The frame rate drops don't help either, although it's possible those are from the recording.
Yes. I was so disappointed with it. Ive pretty much have fully given up with the franchise. I loved Birth by Sleep and would replay it, but after this THE STORY i lost all care for it.
Why are the cutscenes so slow?? Seriously, even the cutscenes in Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey and Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure (two games that are basically watered down, simpler versions of KH if it was only princess movies) weren’t this slow...
My God, the dialogue in this game is painful... Kingdom Hearts has written itself into oblivion a long time ago and yet, here we are. Jared, thank you for playing this beautiful mess of a game AND making it entertaining.
Seeing you play this sums up my feeling for this game at the same time to add to what I was saying it remind me of super bonk but you know void of a game play element of fun
What’s wrong with playing something you don’t like? Have you ever had to slog through the rest of a game/series? Gotta play the game to know it’s bad. I imagine Jared would like to know for himself if he likes the game instead of just taking others word
Jared, I have mad respect for you and the stuff you do, but please don't torture yourself with things you obviously don't like, and things that people have an affinity for. You are at your strongest when you play things that you want to play and are having fun playing, like the pokemon card game series and the LoZ randomizer things. I'll keep watching your stuff, but this sort of thing is just as hard for us to stomach as it is for you.
I thought Jared would have been interested in the Game and Watch / Tiger Electronic style mini games? I think a few of them are really fun. Can't wait for The Caribbean!
It's obvious Jared never watched the Hercules movie. Most of that battle cutscene with the TItans and Zeus came directly from the movie. ::tips hat:: be well, Sir.
Just dropping in to say good luck to ya Jared, hope you have fun, but I ain't watching because I don't wanna spoil the game for myself. Hope everyone who does watch enjoys it though!
Except that making a self aware joke yet not actually learning anything means the joke doesn't work. Being aware of a behavior but not fixing it means the person making the joke isn't making fun of themselves. It means they're making fun of you for putting up with said behavior. Which should be pretty obvious they intend to keep taking the fanbase through it's convoluted rides.
It's 10000000000000000% NOT a meta joke. It was something that was already in Kingdom Hearts 0.2 (which is a part of the 2.8 HD collection). The ending scene of that shows the exact same logo. They're basically just calling the opening section of the game "Kingdom Hearts 2.9" because "it's not really Kingdom Hearts 3 until he gets the new outfit" or whatever cause when he gets the new outfit is when they show the actual Kingdom Hearts 3 logo.
People give him flak for criticizing a game he hadn't played all the way through. So he plays them for the right to complain without people using that lame excuse.
Everyone knows that you're not a fan of the series but at least try to start the game with a fresh expression, if you want the game to win you over. You sound like you ran a marathon and haven't got sleep for 36 hours.
I someone doesn't like a game they don't like it. If someone does like it it's good for them. Please don't force yourself to play games you don't enjoy one bit, that will just make you hate it even more. Kh isn't for everyone. No game is for everyone. ^ ^
In the past you've implied that you weren't that big a fan of kh so I just wanted to know if you were treating it like ff2 where you didn't like it but gave constructive criticism or if you like it as much as you do FFIV or FFIII
Jared hates the entire series. Even more so because the time he was first vocal about disliking it, it actually hurted his subscriber count back when he first started (he cites this as the reason he didn't make a review of KH in the same way he did the Sonic Adventure 2 one).
I like how many people are mad that they dont like Jared playing this when he hates it. Who cares? Lol. I dont get mad when he shits on Sonic and I love Sonic. Oh well. Play whatever you want Jared. I enjoy your content
i havent gotten a single notification about his twitch streams since i signed up. I've changed my email 4 times and still nothing. switched every note bell I can and nothing. it doesn't work does it
I liked this series but have not enjoyed this game. His criticisms are justified. Fan or not, this was the WEAKEST of the series, even with nostalgia blindness for the other titles. As a fan of the thing, it is OKAY to not like a game. People need to stop identifying so closely with the games they play and getting buttmad when someone doesn't like it.
I agree. I am not a fan of the game but I hate that when i criticize it, the fans are saying im saying mean comments and just being down. I have a hard time with any game with a convoluted story. I myself am glad they put this out for the fans but i blame this on Nomura. He is an absolute great character designer but I am not a fan of his writing in games. Its ok to like it, its ok to not but its not ok to be butt hurt because people disagree and don't like your games. I get it we love the games we love but its also ok for people to not. We all need to not be so uptight and respect everyone's opinions.
I liked KH 1, and also 2 I guess, but I totally agree with Jared's complaints with this one. I really am disappointed with this game. It should have been better than this.
Easily the worst. My roommate who is a huge KH fan has been majorly underwhelmed. He was having way more fun with 2. This just feels awkward, stilted and the gameplay is repetitive and dull. When half the game iscut scenes, and the cut scenes are objectivley bad and at times contribute nothing, it's an issue.
@@Obstreperous_Octopus Its not one of those hype things either it's just the story elements are like that of a fans writing in their sporadic nature. "Oh remember this guy, OH AND THIS GUY?!" They really screwed it up. Also fighting them and winning in such a easy manner does not feel right in the previous hype made for them in the story.
man Jared looks so done with this game lol. certainly gonna just skim and see his reactions on some of the best parts of the game. as somewhat a new fan of the series ( played the two collections to fully catch up to 3), it is certainly one of the weakest in the franchise. most of it is fine but its so damn easy even on proud. The worlds feel disconnected to the main plot, and all the big moments people want is jammed into the end of the story which, albeit cool, is poorly structured. everything leading up to the final battle felt like a very small ramp of progression. 3 does not feel like the big finale, KH2 felt like the biggest finale in comparison with the amount of world's, drive forms, progression, and replayability. the combat is fun, but again easy. they nerfed the flow motion but in turn have the very strong keyblade forms and attractions which are OP as hell. With all this said, i am actually excited for the next KH game because of a new start (dont have to worry about catching up now), happy for one of my favorite character, and interested in seeing where the hell its going
That's one nitpick I had about the kingdom hearts finishers . Half of them are stationary , and move the bosses away from the center of the finishers . Flashy waste of time in most cases . I found myself rarely using the finishers .
kingdom hearts 3 is a movie with bits of game in it, theres more waiting in cutscenes than playing the game, and all those attractions and things are put so often it kills the gameplay beause it makes it so damn easy
TFW some people in the chat are complaining about a voice actor change when the reason for the change is the voice actor FUCKING DIED! the fuck are they supposed to do?!
Apparently KH3 was made by a different team and a lot of the game was scrapped in the middle of working on when they decided to use a new game engine. I was really hoping there was going to be closer and kingdom hearts was going to be a trilogy. But sadly no, the ending just leaves more questions to market yet another game that fans have to wait for frustratingly. Shame on Square
Jared, Thanks for suffering through this for me. I want to like this series, I do, but this story makes it hard to like. I also hear that there is almost zero final fantasy which was my draw to the other series. That and on top of it the battle system seems , like you said, flash over substance. I hope fans enjoy this but man its hard for me to understand how people follow this story. It's at least pretty to watch.
I like seeing jared play this, because I found the cutscenes horribly slow, long, unnecessary and badly acted while the gameplay portion are short and repetitive, but everyone else acts like everything is perfect just to justify investing so much time and interest on the series.
tbh it’s the past few (bbs, ddd, and this one) that feels kinda hollow in gameplay? lh1 and kh2 has very fun and snappy gameplay and better pacing for story, which is what i loves and hopes future titles would have been the same
The Japanese VA for Phil died, so the Japanese version, out of respect, didn't recast and give lines - English translation unfortunately had to follow suit.
He considers the story completely stupid and convoluted, hates the way the Final Fantasy characters are used, and thinks the actual gameplay is far too simple. He's also not a giant Disney fan, so visiting the Disney worlds has little effect on him.
Every Kingdom Hearts game has a minimum 4.5 hours of cutscenes. The original had 7 hours and KH2 had over 11 hours of cutscenes. It comes with the territory.
I fell off with the franchise in the post-BBS years and have no interest in picking this one up myself, but this should be an entertaining watch for a little bit. His least favorite, huh? This is gonna be a thing. Lol.
Wow. So seems like the RUclips audience is not a fan lol. I was watching a lot of Projared play this on stream and had a good time. Anyways, I feel like this game (along with a couple of past entries) took any potential this series had left and threw it into a garbage disposal. The entire plot it a hot mess. The writing is way too repetitive (I don't think the writers took a class on composition and conciseness). The voice acting is still pretty bad for certain major characters (You'd think Sora would finally have decent voice acting for such a huge game). The game looks absolutely great. Stunning. So good. But substance? The stuff that actually matters, like the story? Pretty.... eh. Not very great. I get that there are die-hard KH fans or those who just really enjoy playing the game who will heavily defend it, but I feel like if I'm trying to look at the entire series as objectively as possible, it appears as a jumbled mess. Ultimately that's my opinion though, and others of course can have their own and say it's a writing masterpiece if they really want to.
Man, I remember liking Kingdom Hearts when I was younger. I was considering jumping back in with KHIII (and getting a summary of the plot so far from somewhere), but hoo boy. The combat doesn't look nearly as fun as the first game with all the context sensitive triangle super moves constantly available, I watched this whole first episode and the plot seems simultaneously far too complex yet insipid, and you really landed on the point that was bothering me the whole time when you hit Toy Story- The Disney characters don't actually seem all that much like the Disney characters. Their actions and attitudes are so generic, and could be applied to pretty much anyone. The only thing making them stand out is the occasional one-liner or reference to their own series'. I'm so glad I watched this before I took the dive and bought the game. Saved me $60.
ITS SORA, DONALD, AND GOOFY.
IN THAT ORDER.

Its ok to like it, its ok to not but its not ok to be butt hurt because people disagree and don't like your games. I get it we love the games we love but its also ok for people to not. We all need to not be so uptight and respect everyone's opinions.
Well said. I really enjoy Magic and D&D even though I know they're bad games and it's purely because of nostalgia.
I liked KH 1, and also 2 I guess, but I totally agree with Jared's complaints with this one. I really am disappointed with this game. It should have been better than this.
Easily the worst. My roommate who is a huge KH fan has been majorly underwhelmed. He was having way more fun with 2. This just feels awkward, stilted and the gameplay is repetitive and dull. When half the game iscut scenes, and the cut scenes are objectivley bad and at times contribute nothing, it's an issue.
@@Obstreperous_Octopus Its not one of those hype things either it's just the story elements are like that of a fans writing in their sporadic nature. "Oh remember this guy, OH AND THIS GUY?!" They really screwed it up. Also fighting them and winning in such a easy manner does not feel right in the previous hype made for them in the story.
I thought he was going to say these cutscenes were acted out like the room😂😂
man Jared looks so done with this game lol. certainly gonna just skim and see his reactions on some of the best parts of the game. as somewhat a new fan of the series ( played the two collections to fully catch up to 3), it is certainly one of the weakest in the franchise. most of it is fine but its so damn easy even on proud. The worlds feel disconnected to the main plot, and all the big moments people want is jammed into the end of the story which, albeit cool, is poorly structured. everything leading up to the final battle felt like a very small ramp of progression. 3 does not feel like the big finale, KH2 felt like the biggest finale in comparison with the amount of world's, drive forms, progression, and replayability. the combat is fun, but again easy. they nerfed the flow motion but in turn have the very strong keyblade forms and attractions which are OP as hell.
With all this said, i am actually excited for the next KH game because of a new start (dont have to worry about catching up now), happy for one of my favorite character, and interested in seeing where the hell its going
That's one nitpick I had about the kingdom hearts finishers . Half of them are stationary , and move the bosses away from the center of the finishers . Flashy waste of time in most cases . I found myself rarely using the finishers .
Is it just me, or do the red mechs look similar to the Proud Clod from FF7?
I thought he found the series too dumb to actually think of playing 3.
He was forcing himself through the game. He still thinks it's dumb.
he said in one of his streams (Final Fantasy tactics?) that he hates the series but will play anyway
kingdom hearts 3 is a movie with bits of game in it, theres more waiting in cutscenes than playing the game, and all those attractions and things are put so often it kills the gameplay beause it makes it so damn easy
Yeah, I tapped out after KH2... not regretting that decision. At all.
I think it needed to be one person's story. Right now we're following about four. Maybe more.
Sorry...

TFW some people in the chat are complaining about a voice actor change when the reason for the change is the voice actor FUCKING DIED! the fuck are they supposed to do?!
It was the M&M cookie that ruined the whole game for him... yep... that was the only reason... that cookie...
ROSE QUARTZ!
I pity your soul Jared
Good god who thought it was a good idea to make two of the most annoying characters in animation history your party members?
You are most definitely going to have a bad time if you try to take the plot to Kingdom Hearts seriously in any sense...
i play all game and im still dont know what all about
Hades is my Fav Badguy he so Funny
If I owned this game I wouldn't use any the attractions and skip all the cut scenes. I think then it would be semi playable
So is flare in ff fireworks
Apparently KH3 was made by a different team and a lot of the game was scrapped in the middle of working on when they decided to use a new game engine. I was really hoping there was going to be closer and kingdom hearts was going to be a trilogy. But sadly no, the ending just leaves more questions to market yet another game that fans have to wait for frustratingly. Shame on Square
Not Square. Just Nomura. Hes a terrible writer and a shitty human

Is that a nod to Hero Academia? XD
No, that was a quote in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, a game from 2011/2012, WAY older than My Hero Academia.
Jared, Thanks for suffering through this for me. I want to like this series, I do, but this story makes it hard to like. I also hear that there is almost zero final fantasy which was my draw to the other series. That and on top of it the battle system seems , like you said, flash over substance. I hope fans enjoy this but man its hard for me to understand how people follow this story. It's at least pretty to watch.
I like seeing jared play this, because I found the cutscenes horribly slow, long, unnecessary and badly acted while the gameplay portion are short and repetitive, but everyone else acts like everything is perfect just to justify investing so much time and interest on the series.
tbh it’s the past few (bbs, ddd, and this one) that feels kinda hollow in gameplay? lh1 and kh2 has very fun and snappy gameplay and better pacing for story, which is what i loves and hopes future titles would have been the same
Why does donald duck have a hat with two zippers over the top of it? What do they do? Does he ever just where a third of it?
Finish World of Light!
Is it just me or does Hercules sound like Tim Tebow?
Wtf, where was Danny D? He was the best part of Hercules. "Rule 38, never eat yellow snow"
The Japanese VA for Phil died, so the Japanese version, out of respect, didn't recast and give lines - English translation unfortunately had to follow suit.
I saw the tweets but missed the gameplay. Why does the ProtonJared hate the Kingdom Hearts?
The same reason anyone who doesnt like it doesnt like.
He considers the story completely stupid and convoluted, hates the way the Final Fantasy characters are used, and thinks the actual gameplay is far too simple. He's also not a giant Disney fan, so visiting the Disney worlds has little effect on him.
haHA!
is this a movie or a game?
Every Kingdom Hearts game has a minimum 4.5 hours of cutscenes. The original had 7 hours and KH2 had over 11 hours of cutscenes.
It comes with the territory.
I fell off with the franchise in the post-BBS years and have no interest in picking this one up myself, but this should be an entertaining watch for a little bit. His least favorite, huh? This is gonna be a thing. Lol.
Wow. So seems like the RUclips audience is not a fan lol. I was watching a lot of Projared play this on stream and had a good time. Anyways, I feel like this game (along with a couple of past entries) took any potential this series had left and threw it into a garbage disposal. The entire plot it a hot mess. The writing is way too repetitive (I don't think the writers took a class on composition and conciseness). The voice acting is still pretty bad for certain major characters (You'd think Sora would finally have decent voice acting for such a huge game).
The game looks absolutely great. Stunning. So good. But substance? The stuff that actually matters, like the story? Pretty.... eh. Not very great. I get that there are die-hard KH fans or those who just really enjoy playing the game who will heavily defend it, but I feel like if I'm trying to look at the entire series as objectively as possible, it appears as a jumbled mess. Ultimately that's my opinion though, and others of course can have their own and say it's a writing masterpiece if they really want to.
Man, I remember liking Kingdom Hearts when I was younger. I was considering jumping back in with KHIII (and getting a summary of the plot so far from somewhere), but hoo boy. The combat doesn't look nearly as fun as the first game with all the context sensitive triangle super moves constantly available, I watched this whole first episode and the plot seems simultaneously far too complex yet insipid, and you really landed on the point that was bothering me the whole time when you hit Toy Story- The Disney characters don't actually seem all that much like the Disney characters. Their actions and attitudes are so generic, and could be applied to pretty much anyone. The only thing making them stand out is the occasional one-liner or reference to their own series'.
I'm so glad I watched this before I took the dive and bought the game. Saved me $60.
i think we been trickt this is not Kingdom heart 3 it 2,9
